The PHIL Award (Pulmonary Health and Illnesses of the Lungs) was established by The FACES Foundation to recognize outstanding respiratory therapists who provide care and treatment for patients with respiratory illnesses. The PHIL Award honors the ‘unsung heroes’ in the respiratory therapy profession who understand that each breath matters.

The PHIL Award will be given annually to one respiratory therapist, who has been nominated on the basis of professional excellence and compassion in the education and care of patients with pulmonary illness.
